COPARMEX Medal

This medal is linked to COPARMEX, the Confederación Patronal de la República Mexicana, an organization that brings together the country's business owners and employers. Founded in 1929, COPARMEX has been one of the main voices of the private sector in Mexican economic and political life.

Business organizations of this kind often issue medals and badges for events, anniversaries or awards. Classified among the exposition pieces, this medal relates to the confederation's participation in industry competitions or gatherings.

Struck in brass and small in format, it has no recorded year. Its value lies in the connection to a key organization of Mexican business and in the testimony it provides about this sector's activity in the country's economic history.

The "COPARMEX" medal is part of the Mexican numismatic heritage. It is made of brass, measures 19.96 mm in diameter and 3.77 grams, struck in Mexico.

As a brass medal, its value comes not from the metal but from the commemorative side: the event it celebrates, its age (from 1910 to the present), and demand among collectors of the theme. Preservation and the rarity of the issue are what drive the price.
